The Police
http://www.badave.com/artists/artistry/pics/police.jpg

As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you recieve 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 4 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be ommitted from the final total.

Please know I do track Honorable Mentions as well.  Thank You.  They are the final tie breaker if all other tie breakers fail.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is June 27, 2007.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by one of two options.  You may either vote on this thread, or by using the secret ballot, which is where you send your vote to karaokedavid82@yahoo.com  . .

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other compeitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

That's the perils of copy and paste to make sure I don't miss a rule :)

Don't shoot me for voting so early, please. This round has shown me that the truly challenging aspect of Police parodies is breaking up the monotony of the many repeated choruses. Good job, guys and gal!

No, not eccentricity...Agrimo - oh, never mind  :D ;D

AGG-ree-MORE-fee. That's how I pronounce it, anywyay.

AGG-ree-MORE-fee. That's how I pronounce it, anywyay.


Instead of "ree", I go with "ri" (kinda the schwa- sound), but you got the right idea, Cat.

A college radio DJ who played my experimental stuff on his show preferred "AG-rim-OR-fee" for some reason.  :)

Sorta makes me glad my name is so easy to pronounce. :P

But in real life my real name gets misspelled SO much...not the same thing, but just as bad.
